Colette modeling in the Beauty Parade, Boston
A striking black-and-white photograph by Nan Goldin capturing Colette mid-pose during a beauty pageant in Boston, conveying both the glamour and raw intimacy that defines Goldin's documentary style. The gelatin silver print renders the scene with rich tonal contrast, drawing the viewer into the performative world of drag and nightlife culture that Goldin famously chronicled. The image reflects her signature approach of portraying her subjects with unflinching honesty and deep personal connection.
